Hi

Hi

I'm about to plan a upgrade to our database enviroment.
We have 7 database servers running different kinds of SQL server (7.0,
2000, 2005) in an unmanaged enviroment,
The environment services wide range of business applikations and the demand
for availabilitiy and security is increasing and the environment should meet
the operational requirements led out from/required to ITIL best practice
principles.

What i'm looking for at resources including frameworks/toolkits,
guides/recommendations, consideration/decision for planning a database
enviroment that meets these requirements (i.e. the process upgrade/migrate
from A to B).

I've been searching the net for this but I can't seem to find any resources
that takes up this matter, so any help appriciated-

Thanks, I found some good articles.

I still need some resources that takes a more holistic view of the process,
ie. not just how I plan to upgrade a certain databaseserver, but also how my
database environment should be build.
By environment I mean all the database servers and applications (and other
components) that communicate with the environment, that is, I need som
Architechtual design considerations for the _whole_ environment, including
operations, support etc. etc.
